Prime Minister Narendra Modi and NCP supremo Sharad Pawar were seen on a stage in Pune. “Maratha Strongman” not only shared the stage, but also shook hands with the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, when the NDA government’s conflict with the newly formed ‘India’ alliance is at its peak, the opposition is naturally uncomfortable with the two sharing the stage.
Modi received Lokmanya Tilak National Award in Pune on this day. Sharad Pawar was present as an invited guest on that occasion. Also present there were Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde, Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Vyas.
Incidentally, there were many speculations about this event for a few days. Because Lok Sabha elections are ahead. On the one hand, when the opposition has formed the ‘India’ alliance and stands in opposition to the BJP, in this situation, won’t the Pawar-Modi stage split spoil the image of the opposition among the people? Such questions were raised. Finally, after all the speculations, Pawar-Modi shared the stage, leaving a thorn of uneasiness.
